Summary: Hi tepidspongebath. You asked for magical realism. This fic is decidedly unmagical, I thought it would work as a good Holmestice treat, since it's my way of trying to get my head around the newest female character in this canon, it's in the Russell!verse, and there are shades of Holmes/Watson with period-specific attitudes.
